I am an avid dog lover, but this idea is a very dangerous one to promote. While there may be some evidence that dog saliva contains enzymes that promote healing in some cases, there are also real possibilities of being seriously and badly infected by dog saliva. Love your dogs like crazy and take care of them, but don't let them lick your wounds. Standard care of your wounds will work fine, and any possible benefits from dog saliva are NOT WORTH THE RISK of very serious infections that you might inadvertently get from your furry buddy.
